Golf Betting

TPC Deere Run is a drag-strip of a Par 71 where you'd better make birdies or pack your bags come Friday evening. A minimum 1-in-3 birdie or better conversion is traditionally required to get the job done at the John Deere Classic with the course giving chances to both the shortest and longest players.

It's also a tournament where players who have had a good season 'step up' and take a PGA Tour win. Clearly that could be wither of the eilte players in the field, namely Spieth or Johnson, but equally it could be a lesser known winner of Tour maiden.

People are bemoaning 20/1 about Kevin Kisner, but what do they expect! I'm on-board. Course experience seems pretty essential as does striking a balance of birdies vs limited bogeys so I'm backing KK up with shouts on Bowditch (55/1), Stefani (60/1), Bohn (66/1), Brown (66/1) and Boo (80/1).
 
Well after a fruitful period I came to an abrupt halt last week. With only 1 week before another major I have decided to rein back this week and chance my arm with some big outsiders each way at small stakes.

Scottish open
Aphibarnrat 125-1
Tringale 100-1
Fitzpatrick 125-1

John deere
Garrigus 150-1
Guthrie 150-1
Vegas 150-1
Van pelt 125-1
Howell III 125-1

Goodluck to all who have a punt
 
Anyone know when the Scottish open tees off? want to get a bet on before it starts

Oops just seen it already has

Not a betting man so don't really understand it all but I see Spieth is fav at around 6-1

Is that really a fair reflection on what he'd have to achieve, I mean not only would it need to be a third consecutive major but also back to back weekly wins

How often has this actually happened previously? Or do odds just consider the 4 days as separate to the achievement (other than form)
 
The weather will be playing ahuge part in the outcome. An early tee time on Thursday with a late morning/early afternoon tee time on Friday might have the 'best' of the weather.

I've gone each way on Marc Warren at 150/1 with Paddy Power. In a bit of form and might miss the worst weather.
 
Had another e/w double come in this weekend but more conservative than the weekend previous (Kisner/Babrero-Bello, £10 = £323), it was only Speith/Kuchar so could have been a much bigger pay day had Rickie not torn up the final stretch! My other double was close to landing, Summerhays/Dubisson finished just outside the places and would have netted a serious amount. How much? Well lets imagine they won. A £6 stake (£3 e/w) would have returned £12,000. I've had some tasty wins this year, Hun An at Wentwort at 100/1 being the nicest.

I'm putting small e/w monies on the elder statesmen at long odds, I reckon experience might tell particularly if the wind gets up. If so the likes of Miguel or Els might have a turn back the clock moment. Worth a pound. The young guns might well blow this away but they're at no value, so if they do, hats off to them.

GMac, Donald, Westie and Kuch all at 60 - 80s. Generous considering form and history.

Way outside, and possibly worth a "First round leader", I fancy James Morrison at 200/1. Ignoring his poor start last weekend (got the bad end of the draw weather wise) he was 2nd in France, T11 at the BMW. He's out late so if the wind dies down and he will know the number might just be able to throw in a low one. And who knows might be the surprise package...
 
I had a small win courtesy of Marc Warren last week so I'm also backing him this. Not sure he can win it but he must be in with a shout for a place.

Also on Shane Lowry and Justin Rose.

Also taken Els each way at 150/1

The course isn't a beast and he just needs to have a good putting week and he will be in the mix.
